Podcast: What does ‘climate action investing’ actually mean?

The goal is to allocate more capital to the business opportunities the transition creates, while simultaneously driving down emissions over time.

Pod ESG

Traditionally, investors and companies have asked the question: “How should an investor balance a focus on reducing their climate impact with a desire for financial returns?” However, it is our firm belief that we could be asking a different, more positive question: “How can these opportunities and risks be addressed simultaneously?”

In our latest Climate Solutions podcast we delve into the detail of climate action investing. Why do we see the need for a more active approach? What’s a method investors can employ to seek to reduce emissions and target returns simultaneously? And practically speaking, how do we believe value can be unlocked from the energy transition?

Our Head of Climate Solutions, Nick Stansbury and Robert White, our Head of Active Equities, explain all.

You can listen to the podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Audioboom and Spotify.
